Pizza With Buratto Farina

Pizza With Buratto Farina. Not enough to be excellent “pizzaioli” to succeed in “Internet”. Thus I began my teacher at the course “THIS” (search engine optimization) I'm attending, then, he added: try posting an article with a picture of a pizza next to a nice butt of a girl, nothing vulgar, Immediately you will notice that your post will be read and clicked by twice as many people usually read your articles!!

And, but what it has to do the lower back of a girl with flour sifter? absolutely nothing, but the images much influence what they read and clicking boaters. A photo of a sieve to flour He would have aroused the interest of a few.

Well, this is precisely the subject I wanted to say, The cheesecloth is nothing but the flour sieve.

Pizza With Buratto Farina
A sieve of the old model flour

Pizza With Buratto Farina

The definition cheesecloth is approached to a machine that sifts the flour to divide into different sizes. From here comes the term “level of sifting” that is, the degree of sophistication of the flour.

Over the flour is sifted, the more it will prove to be refined, white in color and almost impalpable to the touch, It will be rich in starch and poor in minerals (ashes).

The percentage of sifting must be understood exactly in the opposite way:

  • A higher percentage of sifting is equivalent to less refined flour.
  • A lower percentage of sifting equivalent to a greater refinement of the flour.

To help you better understand,I published the following table representing the classification of flour:

Type of Flour Humidity Max ash Min. ash Max. min proteins. Abburrattamento
00 14,50% 0,55% 9,00% 50%
0 14,50% 0,65% 11,00% 72%
1 14,50% 0,80% 12,00% 80%
2 14,50% 0,95% 12,00% 85%
Whole wheat 14,50% 1.30% 1,70% 12,00% 100%

All those who have attended our professional pizzaiolo courses at our School Pizza, They know very well flour, including flour sifter, then, they know perfectly well that we are not talking about a proper whole-wheat flour, but it is characterized by a stay of fibrous parts and germ of the seed, It keeps inside the granules of large size, so it is classified as type flour 2.

Pizza With Buratto Farina
A flour sifter type 2

Compared to flour 00, the sifter flour contains many more proteins, then more gluten, This makes it a strong flour (The), It contains larger granules, therefore it is less soluble, but it can be used to produce bread, pasta, pizza and sweets. About sweet, it would seem that the “Baba” made with this type of meal are the best.

Pizza With Buratto Farina

In pizzeria, This semigrezzo wheat flour is added in small percentages classic dough, the same way they usually use whole wheat flour. Your pizza is crispy outside and soft inside, light, perfumed and fragrant.

Pizza With Buratto Farina

I recommend, prepare the dough well in advance, prepare the pizza dough balls, place them in a container with lid and .. leavening in a refrigerator at 3 degrees centigrade for at least 48 hours.

Pizza and Yeast The Righteous Doses

Pizza and Yeast The Righteous Doses

Pizza and Yeast The Righteous Doses. When you write posts that will be read by many other people, It must be clear, but the thing that I think is very important not to fall into criticism from other readers or people doing the same job is… only write things you know well.

Often surf the net looking for ideas and suggestions for new post, today to answer questions received by many readers and readers who prepare the pizza at home, I wanted to write this advice covering a pretty important thing about the pizza, We introduce the topic baking powder and the right amounts to be added to the dough.

Pizza and Yeast The Righteous Doses
Pizza and Yeast The Righteous Doses

Pizza and Yeast The Righteous Doses

When I read in some recipes on the web site of some illustrious and I see between doses….Flour 300 grams and Yeast 20 grams Well… shoot straight, immediately step to other sites and other recipes. How you can use 20 grams of yeast for 3 pizzas to the plate or for the preparation of a baking tray? What credibility we should give these gentlemen? daltronde, just look at the photos of their results to understand that he's talking about pizza, but of something baked in the oven with the above ingredients.

Too much yeast in the dough feels, altrera aromas and taste of pizza.

So what we have to put yeast?

The yeast cubes of beer they sell in the supermarket weigh 25 grams, I think that in a dough 200 pizzas along with 24 hours of leavening in the fridge, ne uso 5 GRAMS (Five).

Pizza and Yeast The Righteous Doses
Pizza and Yeast The Righteous Doses

Pizza and Yeast The Righteous Doses

For housewives and husbands who Sundays prepare pizza at home and as usual to knead 5 afternoon and then leave the dough to rise 2 sunshine hours and then consume it the same evening at 7/8, I would like to give an advice: Increasing the dose of yeast disproportionately pizza will not rise before, It takes the same time to rise even with only a few crumbs of leaven, 2 or three grams are sufficient. Anyhow, the mixture to be digested must get to “maturation” more or less quickly depending on the type of flour used for the dough that will have, and maturation, You not certainly comes with only two hours of leavening.

Make a habit of mixing with a good mixture of flour (W350) pizza on Saturday, and then roll out the pizza and fire it on Sunday night (long rising in the fridge), the result will be great.

How do I comment my friend Carmine, the topic “As yeast use” it is clear only to people who have appropriate knowledge on the pizza, on doughs and especially the flour to use, those who prepare once in a while the pizza at home will have difficulty understanding.

Just to help these people in difficulty, I prepared a course of professional pizza maker ONLINE to everyone who will help you prepare the pizza to your home just like an expert pizza maker, It contains lots of useful information, tricks and secrets on suitable flour for pizza, dough, leavening, the preparation and baking.

Pizza baked in house on baking stone

Pizza baked in house on baking stone. One of the questions that comes to me more frequently by friends who prepare the pizza at home is as follows: How do I make a good pizza even with the oven in my house?

Pizza baked in house on baking stone
Pizza baked in house on baking stone

The biggest problem for those who prepare the pizza for the family at home lies in the cooking of the same. Many think that the cause of a bad result is due to the mix, the ingredients used, or the rising times not respected. All we know that the baking temperature of the pizza is approximately 300 degrees. Often the oven of our house does not even reach the maximum power of this temperature, and, if we consider that the opening of the large door of the oven, when we insert the pizza to be cooked, a large part of the heat is lost, the temperature drops drastically and we are to bake the pizza with the thermostat which indicates that the heat has subsided considerably, sometimes down to 200 degrees. The result that is obtained by cooking our pizza at such low temperatures is often due to lack of fragrance, rubbery pizza, pale color and cooking times that are up to 30 minutes. A good product cooked in a wood stove takes less than a minute, and in a professional oven is around 3 minutes.

Then, how to rectify this unfortunate incident and improve our pizza?

Guide Flour for Pizza Which Use

Flour…. because we do not give the right value to the flour that we use? Often we commit our first mistake in the preparation of the pizza from the choice of the flour we buy on the supermarket shelf. I'm tired of listening to complaints juxtaposed to a badly managed product, blaming your oven, leavening, the yeast that was not good or not has been put enough dough. From all this it was necessary to write again for clarification on this product which is the basic ingredient of bread in all the kitchens of the world.

Each flour has special characteristics which make it suitable for one or for another type of preparation.

We see all kinds of wheat flour, their use, the difference between their strength (The) and proteins, so we will be able to make the right choice in buying:

Guide Flour for Pizza Which Use

FLOUR 00

Flour 00 It is the most common flour, It is obtained from the processing of the inner part of the seed of wheat, to tell the truth when it comes to us, the 00 It does not contain anything more, considering that, in the grinding process are eliminated fibers, minerals and vitamins. It will surely be easy to work, but does not provide any nutrients to our body, Indeed there are many who say that it hurts, rich in sugars and difficult to digest.

FLOUR 0

Just less refined the 00, flour type 0 and widely used in bread making because it contains much gluten.

FLOUR 1

The high content of bran and wheat germ make flour 1 full of useful substances for our body. Very used for the production of bread, pizza, pastries and bakery products.

FLOUR 2

The flour 2 It is an integral seed flour, Highly textured and coarsely minced. Much easier to work with than the whole wheat flour. Precisely because of its degree of grinding the flour 2 leavens much more slowly than a 0 or of a 00. This type of flour is used in baking, a pizzeria and bakery for some types of sweets.

WHOLEMEAL FLOUR

The unrefined grinding, from this type of flour a grainy texture to the touch. It contains the highest number of nutrients seen that the whole is milled grain of wheat. Although its use is very limited as very difficult to work, it is the best. If you decide to buy it, try freshly ground whole wheat flour in stone, the slow grind does not overheat the grain that will keep all its properties.

Guide Flour for Pizza Which Use

The strength of the flour

The flour is also classified according to its power (The). the strength of the flour is the absorption capacity of liquids during the dough and the ability to retain carbon dioxide during the leavening (see the gluten network of the pizza) and it is measured according to the contained gluten protein (gliadina+ glutenina).

A strong flour will be used for long fermentation products such as bread, pizza, Christmas panettone and Easter cakes with cheese, A weak flour is suitable for production that do not require long rising, type pastry, brisè pasta etc..

The strength of the flour find it written on the same packaging, the unit of measurement is the W, the strength scale ranges from weak to stronger 130W 500W.

Here's how they are used:

weak flours up to 170W

These flours absorb about 50% of liquids and are ideal for leavened flour like cookies

Farine medie da 180W and 260W

Absorb in phase of liquid mixture that can reach the 65% weight and they are used for products that contain an average quantity of liquid as the rolls.

Farine forti da 270W and 350W

absorb the 65 to the 70% liquid and is ideal for PIZZA. For a good pizza often prepares a mixture containing flour Manitoba. The MANITOBA flour is often used to increase the strength of weak flour, It has its own force of about 350W and comes to even absorb 90% of liquid.

strong flour over 350W

These flours arrive to absorb up to 90% of liquid. They are often used by pastry chefs to prepare delicious Panettone and Pandoro.

In Italy, specialists in Complicating matters is in force the law number 580 which, with its subsequent amendments provides that the bag of flour classification is shown in terms of ashes or the minerals that remain intact after refining: more ashes are low and more the flour is refined.

Soft wheat flour type 00 â€“ 0,55%
Soft wheat flour type 0 â€“ 0,65%
Soft wheat flour type 1 â€“ 0,80%
Soft wheat flour type 2 â€“ 0,95%
Wheat wholemeal flour â€“ 1,30% / 1,70%

The flour protein.

Even proteins ( Gliadina e glutenina) They must be specified by law on the bag of flour. The minimum values ​​of commerce have these:

Soft wheat flour type 00 â€“ 9,00%
Soft wheat flour type 0 â€“ 11,00%
Soft wheat flour type 1 â€“ 12,00%
Soft wheat flour type 2 â€“ 12,00%
Wheat wholemeal flour â€“ 12,00%

The hard wheat flour

For wheat flour as not to further complicate things we have reserved a separate article that you can consult by clicking here.

I tend to have in my school pizza makers of the students who come from other countries where the flours are classified differently, so I prepared a helpful valid table for you if you decide to make pizza to your guests while on holiday abroad.

Classification of flour abroad:
Soft wheat flour type 00 â€“ Pastry flour
Soft wheat flour type 0 â€“ All pourpose flour
Soft wheat flour type 1 â€“ High gluten flour
Soft wheat flour type 2 â€“ First clear flour
Wholemeal flour â€“ White whole wheat
Durum wheat flour â€“ Durum wheat semolina
